Abstract
THIS volume aims at providing the experimental worker in physiology, pharmacology and experimental medicine with a survey of our present knowledge of the biliary secretion. It is intended to be read, however, in conjunction with a companion volume by the author called “Chemistry of the Sterids”. Without reference to the latter, certain sections on the bile acids in the present book are not clear, since the author refers to the rings and carbon atoms of the bile acid structure by numbers ; for example, “ring III”, “C11= C12”; these sections would be much easier to read if a skeleton structural formula of the bile acids with the rings and C atoms appropriately numbered were included, thus avoiding unnecessary references to the companion volume.
